Man Drops Dead.
West Union Argo:--A man by the name of Johnson, who has been working on the R. I. section under foreman Gruver, dropped dead last evening. The section gang was coming up from work on the hand-car. They stopped for a moment near the rock cut east of town to listen for the work train that was following them. Mr. Johnson fell off the car backwards and they picked him up dead. He was about fifty years old, and it is supposed that heart trouble was the cause.
